Le discours d’Obama présentant le déploiement de 30 000 soldats supplémentaires en Afghanistan comme un prélude au retrait, n’a été qu’un exercice cynique de faux-semblants, de double langage et de tromperie. L’élection d’Obama à la présidence a servi de poudre aux yeux, selon le vieux principe de « tout changer pour ne rien changer ». Comme ses prédécesseurs à la Maison Blanche, Obama est tout simplement aux ordres de l’oligarchie politico-militaro-financière qui prétend régir la planète.
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Ahead of a much-anticipated meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and Lebanese President Michel Sleiman in Washington later this month, the Pentagon announced today that a major arms deal had been reached with Lebanon and that several millions of dollars worth of weapons and equipment would be delivered within weeks.
And now it is here. The new “surge” in Afghanistan is underway – the second surge launched by the progressive president in his first year in office. Barack Obama's speech, and the policies embraced in it, and the sinister implications underlying it, are all abysmally awful. They are a death warrant not only for the thousands of Afghan and Pakistani civilians who will be killed in the intensified conflict, but also for the countless thousands of innocents yet to die in the coming generations of a world roiled and destabilized by an out-of-control empire.

“Suspicions by Pakistan's powerful army that the country's civilian leadership is growing too close to the United States are fueling a political crisis that analysts here believe threatens the survival of the government and could divert attention from the battle against Islamic extremists.
As President Obama prepares to send 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, U.S. officials on the ground are despairing over what some describe as the flagrant corruption of President Hamid Karzai's government. Among the most alarming developments: mounting evidence that Afghan government officials are spiriting millions of dollars in illicitly gained assets out of the country to the Persian Gulf. A special U.S. money laundering task force, dubbed the Afghan Threat Finance Cell, is monitoring the movements. “It's very blatant-they are literally smuggling suitcases of bulk cash and moving them to Dubai,” said one U.S. official familiar with the money movements as well as other recent investigations into Afghan corruption.
A bid by one of Osama bin Laden's sons to visit Britain was rejected by an immigration tribunal on Thursday amid questions about his proposed marriage to a British woman and his attitude to his father.
As global awareness grows around the Congo and the silence is finally being broken on the current and historic exploitation of black people in the heart of Africa, a myriad of Western-based ‘prescriptions’ are being proffered. Most of these prescriptions are devoid of social, political, economic and historical context and are marked by remarkable omissions. The conflict mineral approach or efforts emanating from the United States and Europe are no exception to this symptomatic approach, which serves more to perpetuate the root causes of Congo’s challenges than to resolve them.
C’est le plus grand éditeur de littérature scientifique, Elsevier Science, qui est à l’origine de l’étude discrètement publiée à la fin du mois d’octobre par le site ScienceDirect. Bien sûr, aucun média n’a depuis repris cette information qui indique que, loin d’être un médicament efficace pour le traitement de la grippe A actuel, le Tamiflu en renforcerait l’infectiosité.
